Setting up ImageJ for controlling a Hamamatsu camera

[Jeanine Hinterneder]

Seasons Greetings to All!

A neighboring research lab here at Brandeis is trying to set up ImageJ
to control a Hammamatsu camera to collect images and  are having some
problems.  They downloaded  the most recent version of ImageJ as well as
Micro-Manager and selected what they believed to be the right settings
for their camera.  However, they can't get the software to recognize
(find) the camera...
Does anyone have suggestions for what they might try next?

The details of what hardware they have are:
Camera:
Hamamatsu C4742-95

Frame Grabber:
AS-PHX-D36-PE1

Operating System:
Windows Vista 64-bit


Thanks!

Hi Jeanine,
 
 I have previously had my Hamamatsu Orca ER (which I belive is the
C4724-95) working with micro-manager. There are a number of tricks
involved. For starters, is this the Firewire Version or the RS232
camera? If its the latter, are you using the Phoenix Frame Grabber card?
If you can provide a few more details about how the camera is being
connected that would be very helpful.

You might also want to steer your questions to the Micro-Manager mailing
list, since I'm 95% sure that you problems lie with Micro-Manager, not
ImageJ.

Cheers,
Damon
